Virtual Box: "Network Bridge Adapter"

If your VirtualBox host system has IPv6 via RADV or DHCPv6, and you want the guest to have that IPv6 too, you should select Network -> Network Bridge Adapter. That way your VirtualBox guest is 'directly' connected to your LAN, without NAT.

IPv6 solution for blocked PirateBay

Dutch ISPs Xs4all and Ziggo have been court ordered to block access to The Pirate Bay. I don't know how the blocking will be done (based on DNS lookups or IPv4 address), but I think there might be an easy way around this block: just use http://thepiratebay.org.ipv6.sixxs.org/ , which is an IPv6-ed, proxyfied access to TPB. You need to have IPv6 access to be able to access this URL. Luckily, Xs4all provides IPv6 to its customers.

So: problem solved?
